Twin Algerian or Moroccan knives from different Makers ?

Two nice Shula!

The keris scabbard is from East Java/Madura but the leaf in front of the scabbard is broken away and recarved. Blade is IMHO also Madura origin and have some age. The Donoriko handle from ivory is demaged, I have followed the ebay auction so I have seen the demage by the auction pictures.

I appreciate the information, but this Kris wasn't on ebay,I got it on a phone bid @ Jones auction in Pa. with some other blades.You are correct, in that I think there may be some insect damage/broken elements in the handle and /or it has been recarved.The scabbard seems to be intact. I didn't take very good pictures of the Kris, so I can see why someone could mistake it for a similar one.
Thanks again for the information!

Sorry, the keris by the ebay auction was very similar, the leaf in front was also broken away and the handle have had a similar demage.

Please follow Rick's advice and post pictures from the keris in the keris forum.

Will do; I'm still fairly new and getting the hang of this great site.
